    The FlexPlus card is an offline card. They only open the account to those who are creditworthy. Also you don't need an offline card to work at Pay@pumps its just that RBS/Natwest block the Pay@Pump transactions for its online card customers.

    Thanks but I had a cash card plus from nationwide before I upgraded and that didn't work at pay at pump?

    Nationwide doesn't allow Pay@Pump transactions on its cash card either but the FlexPlus debit card is a full offline debit card and will.

    unless you try your card yourself, you cannot be sure. Just go and do it.

    I think Offline cards are absolutely brilliant, last night I got home 4 seconds quicker.

    If you want absolute proof without trying it, buy a magnetic stripe reader and check the service code but that would be a bit extreme.
